This Independence Day, get crafty with the kids by making a playful, pompom-packed American flag out of felt and glue.

Gather your supplies and your little crafters—this DIY flag is simple and fun! You’ll need a felt sheet, a small flag pole or stick, Elmer’s glue, and red, white, and blue pompoms. Start by cutting the felt into a rectangle, then glue it to the flag pole. Create a blue square in the top corner with blue pompoms, then alternate rows of red and white pompoms to form the stripes. Let it dry, wave it proudly, and enjoy your handmade patriotic masterpiece!
